Those fellas who think that by virtue of the fact that they love their dog that I want same jumpin' on me when I come on over. I don't care if your German shephard is precious to you, he isn't to me. Get him the hell away from me, pards. Oh, your dog loves you? You derive love from an animal that thinks only about eatin' and defecatin'? Open the door.

After reading this, I'd have to say you annoy me more than any poster that has ever been on this site; more than 99gator, more than gsvol, more than hatvol. I wish I still had my German Shepherd. I'd make him sic you and no, you wouldn't be able to stop him from licking you to death.

I'm no barefooter but I would argue the complete opposite of what you've said. Serious infection and bacteria are spread around via touching something that is infected or laden with bacteria. Unless someone is rubbing their feet all over you, the fact that someone is barefoot won't promote the spread of anything. In fact I'd say their feet are probably cleaner, in the bacteria sense, than someone like myself who wears socks and shoes and allow their feet to swim in sweat all day.

Does the way I started this irk you YorkVol?

Oh, I actually live on planet earth where the ground in outside settings isn't sterilized 24/7.

Hell, I'm just not into other people's dogs, pard. They just aren't much for conversation or rational thought.

Haha no, but it's really important to wash off thoroughly afterwards.

The reason I'm adamant about this is because I got an infection from a tiny scratch on my foot from hanging out barefoot outside for about 8 hours. Though I tried to treat the infection, it actually developed into a staff infection (****ing terrible), and I even contracted hepatitis A (not the bad kinds) from my weak immune system.

You probably didn't get staph from your yard. You probably got it from poorly treating the wound and wearing socks and shoes afterwards. Just a hunch. Not a personal attack.

I respect your opinion, but I also wish you could experience the awesome of being a pet owner. To each their own :hi:

Thank you for the rational response, pard. It's always much more welcome than hatred. With regard to your comment, I am a pet owner. I have two standard poodles that I enjoy very much. They are also very well behaved and follow directions. When fellas come over, the dogs do not jump on them nor bother them in any way. Perhaps the most presumptuous and self-centered thing in the world would be for me to expect my company to enjoy my dogs as much as I do, so I trained my dogs accordingly. I wish more would follow suit is all.

Pooch is just pissed because he likes to jump up and lick people faces when they come to his house.

Ah I see. I didn't realize you had dogs, but I understand what you were saying earlier. That's really cool. My dog is well trained except for the one thing you were talking about. He absolutely flips out when he gets around new people. I know techniques to train him not to, but I don't readily have anyone (a new person to my dog) to help with.

I'm thinking about getting another dog and I've always been interested in poodles. I don't have enough room for a standard, so I was thinking miniature. I assume you would recommend the breed?

Got your concern. I caught celulitis(sp?) in Ranger School and almost lost my left leg, so I'm with you. A strong immune system is our best defense.

Well I wasn't trying to say that its not possible to get an infection or spread bacteria that way. In that regard it's no different than anything else. As long as the people walking around barefoot are taking the necessary precautions, which I tend to assume that anyone walking around barefoot would try to do, then its no different than you or I touching something and spreading bacteria that way. I hate to hear about the staph and Hep A though, as I'm sure it was no barefoot walk in the park.
